It’s hard to come up with an opening statement about PSU’s that hasn't been used over and over and over again. I would hope by now that if you’re building your own machine; Overclocking or adding lots of modifications you know that a PSU is the life blood of your machine. If the PSU is weak, your machine is going to be weak. Over the last year I have been thru 3 different PSU’s. The first, an Antec 350w was a good PSU but right off I knew I was going to need more power. So in Feb I came across a killer deal on a Thermaltake 420, and while that worked good for awhile it started to show signs of faltering. After I added my Raid array, when my Raid was accessed my CCFL’s would flicker. Then the Raidmax came in for review and that didn’t go as well as expected. Which leads me to the newest PSU to get a thorough inspection from us here at GruntvillE; the Antec True Blue 480w. Lets see if this is going to cut it for me, and possibly for you.
